Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
United States export control regulations that impose list-based controls on sensitive technologies, including semiconductor equipment, with controls tiered according to the sensitivity of the technology.
Timeline (last 90 days)
US chip export controls on China are composed of multiple stacked rules, whose core includes the Commerce Control List (CCL) under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and specific performance thresholds targeting advanced computing chips.
Nvidia's AI chips (such as H100 and A100) have been placed on the export control list by the US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) since 2022, under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
Violating the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) can lead to criminal prosecution, hefty fines, and Entity List sanctions.
Since 2022, the United States has implemented the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) through the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Department of Commerce, imposing licensing requirements on exports of certain high-performance chips and their manufacturing equipment to countries such as China, and defining the controlled scope by metrics such as computing power thresholds and interconnect bandwidth.
The US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers semiconductor equipment through lists under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), with advanced logic chips (such as 7 nanometers and below) placed in the highest control tier, while memory chips such as NAND and DRAM are generally not regarded as the areas most directly related to national security.
